Religion should disqualify a person from anything above a janitor.
Janitor, depending on the work place have contract with children. So maybe not
I thought children can’t sign contracts
Looks like they can now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labor_in_the_United_States#21st_century
Religious people make up a large portion of the dipshits who don’t believe in stuff like germ theory…for instance Kennedy and Kegsbreath, do you want them in charge of sanitation?
“Fuck your new world.” - Jeanne, Bayonetta.
Dispensationalist losers
Of course, Satan will promote him if he does.
Okay, so let’s bring the end times to the Republicans. Since they want to die so badly, I’m happy to oblige.
You heard them, we can now bring about their end without worrying about it. They consented.
Thiel is an accelerationist, therefore his pet is too
thiel the anti-christ, called on JD to reap the popes soul.
Fuck you, Roger Stone, for bringing these abominations to power.
“I think there are things about the world that make feel like not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us,” Vance added.
Oh, you’re so close, J D
Closer than most physically, but so far from realization.
This is Peter Thiel’s ideology, almost verbatim.
They’re both on the Antichrist’s side
And both have been inside each other
's couches
But also
BOOTY
Fascinating enough, this might be actually “ok” by they are in the accelerationist camp, then the anti christ is a good thing. They think the world is beyond saving and thus the faster the end times come, the better.
From my experiences growing up in a religious family that was complicit/adjacent to this mindset, I am all but convinced this is exactly what they feel
Which is ironically so far from the text of the religion that one might even call it antichristianity
He’s only VP because Thiel interceded for him…
If you support bringing the end times, you are supporting the anti-christ according to their religion. Therefore they’re going to be the ones left behind and headed for however many thousand years in hell until their god hits the reset button. Idiots can’t even keep themselves on any side of their own religion.
Vance: I’m trying to focus on doing as much of God’s work as possible.
Name one thing that he has done that the bible god wants done
Christianity turned to the anti-Christ in the 2nd century, with the doctrine that everything in the bible must be true, but what is chronologically first is more true than all corrections that were provided afterwards including by Jews in 1st temple, but more aggressively by Jesus. So Moses genocidal rights of the chosen people is the god of Christianity/Rome/Luther. Not anything Jesus ever said.
Fucking couches is in the bible surely?
Ol’ JD rolls up to the pearly gates.
Bible God: So, couches?
JD: You betcha! Bible God: C’mon in, my man!Just a jizzy awful mess up there.
Bringing a potential Anti-Christ, for one
I mean, supposedly, bringing about the end of the world is what American Christian god wants.
Let’s not pretend he believes anything he says.
Well yeah but no
Fundamentalist Christian extremists will happily burn the world to a crisp tpnget their imaginary Christ to come down
These people are terrorists and they’re your government. Great job, USA
I think he might, but one way or another, it’s irrelevant. That’s the narrative he’s selling and pushing for. The consequences of that narrative are real regardless of his beliefs.
Exactly. Vance says whatever he thinks will make him more popular. Always has, always will.
Like I’m not moving the goalposts here, but JD believing what he’s saying is irrelevant. He’s using coded language that is well understood in Christian circles. https://streamable.com/2yj2tj
My real point, as someone raised in those circles, is that you should really fucking believe them when they tell you who they are.
And they’re also talking with a lot of people in Israel who really believe in that language too. Texas ain’t sending red heifers to Israel for beef.
texas ain’t sending red heifers to Israel for beef.
I’m almost afraid to ask but what new hell is this?
Long story short, a perfect red heifer is needed to purify clergy in order for the 3rd temple to be consecrated. The only problem is that there’s kinda an important mosque sitting where that temple would be.
Mike Johnson also all tied up in this.
3rd temple
boy they really get into the apoca-fan-fic…
and of course Johnson is wrapped up in it, he’s dumber than a box of rocks.
thanks for the deets
Upvoted but you really should take them at face value on the revelations talk. They’re not fucking joking.
He’s not talking about what he believes, he’s a nihilist. He’s saying what would have to be true to justify what he plans to do. Rolling coal, probably do some nuclear sabre rattling, do some ethnic cleansing sort of thing, you know.
He’s not talking about what he believes, he’s a nihilist
Respectfully disagree based on my personal experience being raised in a church that was very focused on revelations. IMO you’d have to grow up believing it yourself to understand.
He’s saying what would have to be true to justify what he plans to do.
Yea their logic is circular but I promise you they fucking believe this shit.
Barring specific evidence to the contrary, both Occam & Halon’s razers apply here. It is both a simpler explanation that he believes the scriptures in his religion AND there is no malice required for stupidity to explain what he’s saying.
I’m not saying JD is above lying to his followers and faking faith. But I am saying that I don’t think he’s smart enough to do that and he’s probably 100% serious.
This revelations talk is conditioning them towards violence.
I can respectfully disagree on that, I doubt we disagree on how dangerous he is.
Not someone who grew up in one of those churches, but please don’t sleep on the previous person’s comment. Whether or not couch fucker believes what he says, there are more than enough idiots in their inner circle that do believe it (or are at least willing to go with it for the power) for that not to matter. And even side stepping on whether or not the people in the inner circle believe it, a fuck ton of stupid americans in bumblefuck USA absolutely do and are more than willing to partake in violence and justify it with religion or end times rhetoric, and will likely support them while they violate every maxim of christianity.
And just to tie in a very large media story, the Nat-Cs believe that the end times will come when the jews finally have their homeland back. So support for Israel can be drummed up in bumblefuck USA by tying this to the bible and making people thing that supporting Israel in their genocide is something akin to a crusade and something that god wants them to do.
And friend, if you don’t think they can control how a large swath of stupid christians think, look into what they thought of abortion back in the 50s and 60s, and how quickly sentiment turned when the right turned abortion into their culture war wedge issue.
Absolutely. I think his personal beliefs are not the dangerous part here. Its the beliefs of his cristo-fascist followers he’s tapping into that worry me.
you weren’t brought up by Peter Thiel, and probably didn’t go to Yale Law (no offense intended, most of us didn’t)
Neither were the thousands to millions of christo-fascists currently being stoked toward violence. https://streamable.com/2yj2tj
JD believing what he’s saying is irrelevant when his audience believes it. He uses coded language that has charged meanings in Christian circles.
EoD smart americans should not assume dumb americans don’t believe that crap. Cuz they do.
Of course, but that wasn’t the point.
The point in question was that JD Vance very likely does not believe this bullshit, irrespective of what his followers believe or do
that wasn’t the point.
But what is your point? You’ve contributed nothing to this conversation. I find your comments vapid and annoying.
You are 100% correct these people mean what they say.
They will smile at you as they say it and act friendly. But don’t think they won’t sacrifice or enslave you and anyone else who isn’t “them” if they could get away with it and increase their power.
I think bringing about the end times might actually be the goal of this administration
Not just this administration…

Netflix made a doc called “The Family” about that group. They started in 1935 and are Christian extremists who want the apocalypse to happen while they’re alive so they can be raptured instead of dying.
Most people only know them from “the national prayer breakfast” something most of our politicians (regardless of party) attend and is treated like an official event and not pancakes with a death cult for our nations leaders.
They’re doing a damn fine job. At the end times things. Bring raptured is as likely as me being crowned King of England.
“Pancakes with a Death Cult” would be a great historical analysis book title.
JD does not believe this, of course. He is just tellin’ 'em what they want to hear. If you offer JD a shiny quarter, he will assume any position or belief you require. When Trump is finally hanging from a lamppost (and oh god, let that day come soon), JD will go right back to saying that he was against Trump from the beginning.
Of course he is. That’s when Jesus comes back, that’s what they’re waiting for.
Then, they will be whisked up to Heaven, and Jesus and friends will MURDER EVERYBODY and cast them all into Hell for eternal torture.
This is Christianity; like all Abrahamic faiths, they revel in the slaughter of unbelievers. They always have and they always will.
Tax free!
Like in the Bible? Because that’s not real
You know that and I know that but a truly shocking number of ostensibly responsible adults … don’t
They don’t know what the end times actually is/entails.
If you ask them for a proper explanation they can not answer beyond the fairy tale that they are taught.
But a specific thing grounded in reality they can not point to, and if they’re called evil for wanting harm on millions of people you can see them think “how do I declare the victims to be evil?”.I’m convinced there currently are some in the US government who are so delusional that they think they in-person are one of the four horsemen personified…
what the end times actually is
You do understand all these books by enslaved Bronze-age peasant tribes are made up… right??!
This is like saying someone doesn’t understand what the true nature of the Aveda Kevadra curse is. Or the true taste of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man. IT’S FANFIC
Even worse, they don’t even have a decent definition of “God”. If they say something like that they worship “the God of Abraham” or “Yahweh” or “Jehovah”, that’s about as good as they can do to actually describe “God”, just giving it a name.
If you ignore names and just ask them to describe “God” by its attributes, and get really into details, you’ll find that no two Christians believe in the same god, and in fact, somehow, the “God” they describe will closely reflect their own beliefs more than anything else.
You know here in Australia, people have tried to “cure” religions they don’t agree with. White people have tried to exterminate Aboriginal religions. Because these religions were seen as dangerous and primitive.
Personally, I think taking people’s religions away from them on a massive population level is genocide. Aboriginal Australians have faced genocide for their religion. And to Me, this meme looks like a call to genocide.
To me it really doesn’t look like a call to genocide. In a democracy like Australia, religion is being defeated gradually by education, rational debate, and mockery when all else fails.
White people have tried to exterminate Aboriginal religions. Because these religions were seen as dangerous and primitive.
That was ethnic cleansing using religion as an excuse. That’s not the same as doing away with religion. If your actual target is religion there’s no reason to mistreat people.
There’s no way to destroy cultural beliefs without mistreating people.
Who says you have to destroy cultural beliefs? The issues with religion are behavioral.
What the fuck is your problem with Aboriginal people’s behaviour??? 🧐
Oh, you’re doing this kind of thing huh? Well, speaking of bad behaviors… bye.
Christians will be happy with a close approximation just as long as they can make sure it’s everyone else that’s fucked.
